Cons: If you prefer to have more control over how updating is done, don't use version 3, stay with version
2.0.0.4003

Good all around security for keeping aware of what needs updated. The folks at Secunia do a great
job at staying on top of updates for software.If you like to have more information about updates and how you install them and where they are on
your system, use the older version. I didn't like the new interface in the "Updated" version as it
did not allow the level of control and provide the information about the updates and locations on
your system.The old version uses the same database as the new so no missed updates or omissions. Just a diffrent
interface. Hope this helps.Really like the product!
